HEYMAN BLOCH, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND JULIUSFRANKENSTEIN, OF SAME PLACE.

GRATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 307,742, dated November1l, 1884.

Application filed February l, 1884.

To all whom t may concern.-

Be it known that I, HEYMAN BLOCH, of the city of New York, in the countyand State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Grater, of whichthe following specification is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to a new grater with two indented surfacesadapted to gratejiner and coarser articles.

The invention consists, principally, in the combination of a finerconvexindented grating plate with a coarser straight indented grating-plate,combined to form one grater.

The invention also consists in the details of improvement hereinaftermore fully pointed out.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a back view of my improvedgrater. Fig. 2

' is a longitudinal central section on the line x vided witll a seriesof preferably seniicircular holes, having on their lower curved sideoutwardly and upwardly extending cutting-edges c, and on the upperstraight side downwardly (No model.)

and inwardly extending guideplates d. The handle e is preferably made inone piece with back b. At the lower end the back b, and preferably alsoplate c, is made concave or cut away, so as to forni the two legsff, asshown.v

YV hen the grat-er a is used, the grated articles will roll down alongthe surface of the same in the usual manner, but when grater b isemployed the large pieces cut off will fall through the holes betweenthe two plates a b. The guideplates d will feed such pieces downward andpreventthcin from falling upon and clogging grater a. As the pieces cutoff fall upon the table upon which the grater is placed, they will beexposed toview and pass out from between the plates a b through the 5ovlower cut-away portion between legs ff.

I claim as my inventionl. As a new article of manufacture, agratercomposed of an indented convex plate, a., and an indented straightplate,b, said plates being provided with cutters of different iineness,substantially as specified.

2. The combination of indented convex plate a with indented straightplate b, the plateb having upwardly end outwardly projectingcutting-edges c and inwardly and downwardly extending guide-plates d,and having cut-away lower end, substantially as specified.
